A Short History of Granola
Posted by on
Granola is widely known and loved as a delicious, nutritious, fiber rich breakfast food, energy boosting snack and healthy dessert accessory. Based on oats, nuts and honey, variations include dried fruits, seeds and other whole grains, all gently baked together until crisp. But granola hasn't always been around. In 1894, Dr. James Caleb Jackson came up with the first 'granula' for clients of his sanitarium in Dansville, New York. Composed of graham flour, granula resembled jumbo Grape-Nuts.

A short walk up North Cache from The Bunnery, you'll find the Jackson Hole Historical Society & Museum. The Museum was founded in 1958, and the Historical Society in 1965. The two were merged in 1989. Originally a private museum to display the collection of W.C. "Slim" Lawrence, the present space was provided by Homer Richards, a friend of Lawrence and owner of the Pap Deloney store, built in 1906. The two began with objects for sale to generate revenue and 'curiosities' for exhibit.
A Brief History of Pumpkin Pie
Posted by on
Pumpkins are native to the New World and their earliest relatives can be traced back 9,000 years to Mexico. Over time, various forms of the vegetable migrated to the northeast United States, adapting to a cooler climate. Related to squashes, cucumbers and cantaloupes, pumpkins and their seeds were both a food and medicinal ingredient of Native Americans, who called them 'isquotm squash.' Typically prepared by cutting into strips and drying or roasting on coals over an open fire, this autumn squash was an important staple of winter survival.

The Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival is now one of the nation's most important festivals of its kind.

A glorious blue sky and spectacular weather set the scene for the day's events.

On a first trip to Jackson Hole, the spectacular Antler Arch makes someone like me, a city girl, wonder how many elk it took to build. As it turns out, just like in the movies, no elk were harmed in the making of this arch.
